I want to use this to display the images on a computer screen so my son, who is physically disabled, can see it. Will this work for that purpose?

If you want to see the moon and planets, then yes, it will work. But it won't work for anything else like deep space objects. Also, keep in mind that the images of planets you get live on the screen won't be terribly bright or detailed. That's not really the fault of the camera. That's just the atmosphere affecting the image.

yes it works for that purpose. The drawback is that it is difficult to get it working on Mac OS because of driver issues. If you have a windows laptop then it will work fine.

Depends on what you're viewing... it would be OK for the Moon, possibly Saturn, Jupiter and Mars... but after that, I'm not sure. There are better cameras out there for the purpose you're interested in.

It would definately work for a small or even large setting. I filled a 6' x 6' screen with it today in bright lighting and it was just slightly dim. I am using a windows based laptop but the instructions also provide set up for IOS based devices like the MacBook. I can use my iPad with the HDMI cable and the lightening to HDMI Apple adapter and it works fine.

For static images, it should work fine. For animated or video content, you might see some artifacts. The more of these you plug into one computer, the more likely you will be to notice a slow down. I've used two of these and two HDMI for a total of four displays all at once with no issues. I've also used multiple display video cards that support up to four displays natively each, and for the money, these were FAR easier to set up and use.

I belive so. I bought this item for my brother. But I do know it will work for what you trying to do. Good luck.

I use it to project photos on the wall for tracing (I am an artist). I darken my room and have no problems with the display. Sorry, but I do not use it for gaming or movies.

I tried it on my touch screen and it worked. I'm using it, though, to render my non-intelligent TV into an intelligent one. I don't see why it wouldn't work on your monitor.

I don't think so, and neither does my husband. We have both used it for slide shows. It's a minimalist item. I used it with my laptop to show slides of my paintings; he used it with a USB flash drive for a presentation at work. Neither of us was overwhelmed with the results. The connectivity was a real issue.

No. This product is for attaching serial devices to your computer. Such as modems, or other communication devices. What you are looking for is a video adapter which simply provides the appropriate connectors for the display and video card to make the connection.

I pulled out the box and the instructions; and they said you CAN hook it up to a PC monitor if the monitor has the RCA plug-ins. So I'd say it stands to reason that if have or get the converter cable, you should be good to go. This is a really fine little gadget that helped my nearly-blind friend continue living independently. Good luck! Lynda

Sorry, but I doubt it. This device is for picking up over the air TV signals and storing these programs in your computer. From there you can view the programs on your computer or a larger screen device hooked to your computer.

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this. Good Luck

Yes. It's ideal for any kind of small print. My Mom is 90% blind due to glaucoma and still manages to do a lot of reading by connecting this device to the TV or by plain scanning and reading directly from it. I strongly recommend it also because it is quite durable and can take a few drops etc which are bound to happen when older people handle objects.Hope this has been useful.Best regards,Col PK Vasudevan+91 7589134885

It depends on the size of the poster board. But it would work for displaying a poster board.

Yes, I would think it would work great for that. It's not as bright as an iphone and it casts a smaller circle but we've used it in the pitch dark and it's good for just the small area you're looking at through the magnifying glass.

I can't say for sure, but I would think that any projector could be used to display on this screen. It is rectangular in shape- might be the only problem if your projector displays in square format.

I use it for my projector and computer display. I output to monitor and projector using a camera. You should be able to "mirror".
